photokina is the world's largest photographic trade fair, held every two years in Cologne. This was Marjorie's and my 5th visit to photokina. We also drove to the German state of Hesse (Hessen) to visit the hometowns of the Schoenhals, my maternal great-great-grandmother.

In June 2009 Craig and Marjorie spent a week at the Adam and Eve Hotel in Belek, Turkey. The hotel is a pre-fab building where they've covered every interior wall with mirrors, and the outside walls with Astroturf.

Before we left the UK in October 2010 I asked Seamus Ryan -- a fellow member of the AOP -- to please take photos of Marjorie and me. We told Seamus that we were happy for him to take the photos in any way that he wanted, and these are the results. We think they're great. See more of Seamus' work at http://www.sundayshoots.com/

Where did I get that sweater?2883 viewsAn old photo of me at RPI -- circa 1966 or 1967. A friend of mine found this online in another classmate's photo gallery. I remember that sweater -- I thought it was wonderful.May 26, 2013

Sunapee Harbor - New Hampshire2255 viewsWe took the dogs for a Memorial Day drive. In the middle of the countryside we saw a small sign pointing to Sunapee Harbor. Although miles from the sea, we found this lovely "seaside" New England harbor, complete with a seafood restaurant on the water. Gorgeous.May 29, 2012
